To Love Someone You Can’t Have -

I lay in my bed
my head on tear stained pillows
Trying to make sense of this never ending pain
Why must it be like this?
Why can’t I have the one that I love?
To love someone you can’t have…
must be one of the greatest pains in this world.

I understand now.
What it must feel like
to have your love overseas
to have your love pass away
to have your love unable to see the light of day
Yet I see couples
Bitchin’ about working all the time
and not being able to spend a whole day
together, like its’ nothing
I feel like saying,
“Try loving someone you can’t have. Just try.”

I understand now.
What it must feel like
to love someone from the bottom
of your heart and soul, but yet
you can’t be with them.
Yet I see couples
Bitchin’ about something insignificant
Through anger, I think to myself,
“Try loving someone you can’t have. Just try.”

I understand now.
What love feels like…
to see past the anger,
frustration and hurt
and see the love that lies there
underneath it all

I understand now.
What it feels like
to wholly love and truly respect someone.
To only want to better them
to better their lives
and to just see them happy,
their smiling face.

I understand now.
What it means
when someone says,
“It was the little things”
It was the little things
that filled the cockles of my heart
Yet I see couples
Bitchin’ about things
others yearn that their
Significant Other
would do for them.
I feel like saying,
“Try loving someone you can’t have. Just try.”
